This psychedelic tour of life after death is seen entirely from the point of view of Oscar, a young American drug dealer and addict living in Tokyo with his prostitute sister, Linda. When Oscar is killed by police during a bust gone bad, his spirit journeys from the past -- where he sees his parents before their deaths -- to the present -- where he witnesses his own autopsy -- and then to the future, where he looks out for his sister from beyond the grave.

This gave me the worst headache I've ever had in my entire life. This- ugh, just shut up! Oh my god we get it, you're horny. Uuuuughhhhhh, just stop
I think this is my first time watching a psychedelic film, and getting through this one was torture, but the camerawork was astounding ngl. since it was shot all in first person, you see everything as though you're Oscar. To the point where he blinks, you can see his eyelids over the camera and even when he looks in the mirror, you see his face and when he dies, you see the camera hovering over everything. It was engaging and really fascinating. The concept is really interesting, but I wasn't expecting it to be this way. Some people think that the whole movie is his DMT trip like the entire movie is encapsulating that trip, and I think, it's more suitable. Also WTFFF??!!
